Definitions

  • This invention relates to an article of clothing and a method of making the clothing, more particularly to an article of clothing formed with heat-sealed seams.
  • an article of clothing 1 is made of a fabric material woven from fiber yarns 12 and stainless metal yarns 11 as shown in Figs . 1 and 2 .
  • a power supply 13 such as a battery unit
  • the clothing 1 can effectively keep the user warm, the supplement of power is difficult in high mountains or polar regions. Furthermore, the clothing 1 of the prior art that includes a plurality of sheet segments 15, 16 has several stitching seams 14 joining the sheet segments 15, 16, and thus, cold air, rain or snow can invade the clothing 1 through the stitching seams 14 thereof and thus reduce warming and water-proofing characteristics of the clothing 1.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide an article of clothing and a manufacturing method thereof that can overcome the aforesaid drawbacks associated with the prior art.
  • a method of making an article of clothing comprising: providing a plurality of sheet segments each of which is made of a multi-layered material that includes a thermoplastic foamed layer, and a thermoplastic non-foamed layer laminated on the foamed layer, each of the sheet segments having at least one connection end; and assembling the sheet segments to form the clothing by heat-sealing the connection ends of the sheet segments, thereby forming heat-sealed seams in the clothing.
  • an article of clothing made according to the aforesaid method, comprising a plurality of sheet segments made of a multi-layered material that includes a thermoplastic foamed layer, and a thermoplastic non-foamed layer laminated on the foamed layer; and heat-sealed seams where the sheet segments are interconnected to form the clothing.
  • the first embodiment of the method of making an article of clothing according the present invention comprises step 21 of providing sheet segments 30, and step 22 of assembling the sheet segments 30.
  • a plurality of the sheet segments 30 are provided.
  • Each of the sheet segments 3 0 is made of a multi-layered material that includes a thermoplastic foamed layer 31, and a thermoplastic first non-foamed layer 32 laminated on the foamed layer 31.
  • the first non-foamed layer 32 is made from a non-foamed thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) sheet
  • the foamed layer 31 is made from a foamed thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) sheet.
  • the first non-foamed TPU layer 32 has a smooth surface, whereas the foamed TPU layer 31 is porous.
  • the density of the foamed TPU layers 31 ranges from 0.1 to 0.8 g/cm .
  • the foamed TPU layer 31 may be melt bonded to the first non-foamed TPU layer 32.
  • each sheet segment 30 has at least one connection end 301 that is provided with a beveled edge face 302 as shown in Fig. 5 .
  • the beveled edge faces 302 of the connection ends 301 of the sheet segments 30 are brought to abut against each other, and are thereafter melted and sealed to each other.
  • heat-sealed seams are formed in the clothing.
  • the heat-sealing may be conducted at 80-260 !'C for at least 3 seconds.
  • the heat-sealing may be carried out through a hot-press sealing process, a high-frequency sealing process, or an ultrasonic sealing process.
  • a garment 10 is formed as shown in Fig. 6 .
  • the garment 10 includes a body portion 101, two sleeve portions 102, and heat-sealed seams 303.
  • Each of the body portion 101 and the sleeve portions 102 is made from one or more sheet segments 30.
  • the heat-sealed seams 303 are formed where the sheet segments 30 of the sleeve portions 102 are interconnected to those of the body portion 101.
  • the beveled edge faces 302 of the sheet segments 30 can provide a relatively large contact surface area for heat-sealing compared to a non-beveled edge face, high bonding strength can be achieved at the heat-sealed seams 303.
  • high bonding strength can be achieved at the heat-sealed seams 303.
  • the use of the heat-sealed seams in place of the conventional stitch seams can solve another problem in which the clothing is easily torn apart by pulling stresses at the stitch seams.
  • Fig. 7 illustrates a multi-layered material used according to the second embodiment of this invention, which differs from that of the first embodiment in that each sheet segment 30 further includes a thermoplastic second non-foamed layer 33.
  • the foamed layer 31 is disposed between the first and second non-foamed layers 32, 33.
  • the second non-foamed layer 33 is also made from a non-foamed thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) sheet.
  • TPU thermoplastic polyurethane
  • Fig. 8 illustrates a multi-layered material used according to the third embodiment of this invention, which differs from that of the first embodiment in that each sheet segment 30 further includes a fabric layer 37 made from fibers.
  • the foamed layer 31 is disposed between the fabric layer 37 and the first non-foamed layer 32.
  • the fabric layer 37 and the foamed layer 31 are glued together.
  • the fabric layer 37 is made of a material selected from natural fiber, synthetic fiber, feather or fur of animals.
  • the fabric layer 37 functions as a support for the clothing and prevents the clothing from deformation.
  • the multi-layered material may be embossed to form an embossed pattern in at least one of the sheet segments 30 before the sheet segments 30 are assembled.
  • the sheet segment 30 of the body portion 101 has an embossed pattern 24 thereon.
  • a garment 10 made by the method of the present invention has a cuff 36 in each of the sleeve portions 102 and a waistband 35 in the body portion 101.
  • the forming of the cuff 36 includes the steps of providing a turned-up fold at one end of the sleeve portion 102, and providing a plurality of heat-sealed points 361 that are spaced apart from each other along the length of the turned-up fold to prevent the turned-up fold from unfolding.
  • the forming of the waistband 35 is similar to that for forming the cuffs 36.
  • the cuffs 36 and the waistband 35 can elastically fit the wrists and the waist of the user, respectively. By the provision of the cuffs 36 and the waistband 35, cold air entering the garment 10 through the cuffs 36 and the waistband 35 can be greatly reduced.
  • the multi-layered material for the sheet segments 30 can further include an additional foamed layer 34 made from a foamed thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) sheet.
  • TPU thermoplastic polyurethane
  • the non-foamed TPU sheet 32 has outer and inner surfaces respectively melt bonded to the additional foamed layer 34 and the first foamed TPU layer 32. Therefore, the multi-layered material has a rough outer surface, good shock-absorbing properties, and high resistance to impact and abrasion.
  • each of the foamed layers 31 has a beveled edge face 312 at a connection end thereof.
  • the beveled edge faces 312 are placed in abutment with each other, and then heat sealed together.
  • the first non-foamed layer 32 is disposed over the heat-sealed seam of the foamed layers 31 and is bonded to the foamed layers 31.
  • functional particles such as ceramic particles capable of radiating far-infrared rays or silver particles capable of removing odor and destroying bacteria, can be added into the raw materials of the foamed layer 31 and the first and second non-foamed layers 32, 33.
  • the clothing made according to the present invention may be a swimming suit, a diving suit, a snowsuit, a suit for mountaineering, etc.
